The National Trust

The National Trust works to preserve and protect the coastline, countryside and buildings of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is done through practical caring and conservation, through educating and informing, and through encouraging millions of people to enjoy their national heritage. Funds are raised through a variety of enterprises, including a small group of gift shops. The gift shops sells a wide range of gifts, souvenirs and products ranging from books to prints to cross stitch kits. The shop is open on Sundays in the summer only.
